Hello All,

	In reviewing various files in Samba-4.0.7, I found a number
of instances where malloc()/calloc() were called without the
checking the return value for a value of NULL, which would
indicate failure.

In directory 'samba-4.0.7/nsswitch', file 'nsstest.c', the
existing code calls malloc() without checking the return
value from malloc(). The following patch file(s) make the
required checks for the return value from calls to malloc(),
though in some cases, a(n) error message to stderr might be
appropriate:

Here is the patch file:
